Author's note: I know this is shorter than the previous chapters, but after the long way - for which I apologise profusely - I wanted to give you something. Sorry again for taking so long with this, these last weeks have been rather shitty and tiring. I hope you won't mind the shorter length too much!
Warnings: Small time skips; birth; start of a panic attack; implied breastfeeding
I hope you'll like it!
Part 7
Even though he knew Sasuke would never lie to him, Naruto couldn't help but be uneasy the first couple of days after Danzo's death.
He expected some of Danzo's guards to show up suddenly, perhaps even another army of hunters to finish the job. Or the townsfolk themselves, wanting to know what had happened to the man who had been such a fixture in their community for years on end.
Nothing happened, however. No hunter showed up, nor did any guards or townsfolk. As the days bled into weeks without any other kind of danger popping up, Naruto finally relaxed, content in the knowledge that they were finally completely safe. No hunters who might try to harm Sasuke again, no people from Naruto's past who might try something.
They were safe at their new home, protected from any kind of human meddling by the Fae Queen herself. And though he knew this wouldn't be their permanent home, that somewhere next year they would start the journey to Sasuke's family, he was resolved to enjoy the remaining time they spent here, preparing for their cub's birth.
Sasuke had gone to catch their dinner and Naruto had settled down in front of the cave; his back supported by the cold stone wall. It was somewhere in June and the summer had started mercilessly with the sun beating down on him whenever he dared to set foot outside.
Fortunately here right against the cave there was still shade and the inherent coldness of the stone ensured that he didn't get too hot while waiting for Sasuke to return. He'd forgone his shirt for now, opting to just wear some short trousers, and as he sat there, he smiled every time his belly rippled whenever his baby nudged him with a foot or a fist.
He had entered his eight month, getting him closer and closer to the birth, and his belly had become rather large, leaving him unbalanced whenever he tried to get up. Sasuke was so graceful as to not laugh at him and instead just helped him up every time. Naruto didn't mind it so much; even after carrying his baby for nearly eight months already, he was still filled with awe every time he felt them move like it was the first time all over again.
He was running his hands over his distended belly, musing aloud where Sasuke could be right now, when he became aware of an odd high pitched noise. Frowning, he looked up, trying to locate the source. There were a couple of birds chirping high up in the trees, but their song came nowhere near close to the high pitched shrieking he was hearing. Another animal then? But what kind of animal could be making such a ruckus?
With a bit of trouble and some exasperating huffs, he got himself upright again and carefully approached into the direction from where the sound was originating. It came from somewhere within the tree line, near one of the rose bushes, he found out after standing still and listening attentively.
Becoming progressively more confused, he stepped close to the bush in question and bent down as much as his belly allowed him to, peering down onto the ground. There were a couple of dead leaves, some broken off twigs, a bee buzzing around one of the roses and –
Something small and glowing trapped underneath a dark spearhead.
Completely perplexed at this point, he reached down to remove the spear, wondering how it had got here of all places. It was broken off, some jagged piece of wood the only evidence that it had once been a whole spear, making it even more mysterious how it had ended up here, in a protected zone.
A shout escaped him and he stumbled back startled, dropping the spearhead, when the glowing thing on the ground suddenly expanded rapidly, growing taller and taller and he had to cover his eyes when the glow became too strong.
When he dared to peek through his fingers a little while later, he was astonished to see a red haired man standing in front of him, his eyes a deep, startling shade of green. He was dressed in a simple white shirt and brown trousers, but his feet were bare and oddly some golden coloured sand was swirling around his legs.
"Thank you for helping me," he spoke; his voice low and smooth. "I had no idea how else I could have got free if not for your assistance."
Naruto's mouth dropped open as he realised the man in front of him had been the same small glow he had seen on the ground just a minute before. If he was capable of altering his height – did that mean he was a Fae just like Konan, the Queen?
"Oh, erm, you're welcome. It is rather heavy," Naruto said once he'd found his voice back.
"The weight wasn't a problem," the Fae said and frowned. "It's the material that was causing problems. My people don't deal well with iron."
"I'm sorry, I don't know how this ended up here," Naruto apologised and bit down on his lip. It couldn't be from a hunter – Sasuke would have definitely noticed it if a human had come this close to their home.
"Probably picked up by one of the birds," the man sighed and placed his hands on his hips. "They like how shiny it looks but often forget how heavy it is at the same time. It was just bad luck that I happened to be down there when the bird dropped it."
"Are you hurt?" Naruto asked worriedly, even though he couldn't immediately spot any injury on the Fae man. Maybe they had the same healing progress as Sasuke did and healed quickly.
"Just some irritated skin, but nothing that won't heal soon," the man replied and his gaze briefly flicked down towards Naruto's stomach. "I presume you're Wolf's mate?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, I am," Naruto answered startled. "You know him?"
"The Queen informed us you two are under her protection and are not to be harmed," the Fae replied. "Given that this area is heavily guarded by my people, it's easy to guess who you are. My name is Gaara."
"I'm Naruto," he introduced himself and was surprised to see a faint smile appearing on Gaara's face.
"Well, Naruto, it is a pleasure to meet you. For now I have to leave, but I'm sure we will meet again." With a small bow, Gaara turned into a small glow again and disappeared from view, to wherever Fae went.
Sasuke arrived shortly afterwards in his wolf form, dragging the carcass of a deer with him. He opened his large jaw and let go of the animal, gazing up at Naruto. "What are you doing all the way here? You're going to get overheated," he scolded him gently and pressed his snout against Naruto's stomach.
"Oh sorry, it's just – I met another one of the Fae," Naruto said, still a bit in awe of the encounter. "He was stuck underneath a spearhead so I helped him out."
"I'm sure he appreciated that. He's lucky he got trapped near our cave," Sasuke said and pushed against his hip. "Now go, back to the cave before you faint from the heat."
"I'm not going to faint from the heat," Naruto protested, but nevertheless went back to the front of the cave, knowing that trying to win this argument with his overprotective mate would get him nowhere.
Besides, it was getting a little too hot in the sun.
Unlike Konan, Gaara appeared a bit more willing to engage with them. There wasn't any sort of routine to his visits nor were they regular, but he would show up once in a while, just to talk with them, appearing especially interested in the human village Naruto had left behind.
Naruto didn't mind answering his questions, even though Sasuke tended to growl if the topic veered too closely to the not so fun times Naruto had spent there. It was nice talking to someone who wasn't his mate, his pseudo-father or someone he'd come to consider his grandmother. It didn't matter that Gaara technically wasn't human – Sasuke wasn't either. Naruto himself could arguably not really be considered fully human anymore either, he supposed, with the baby he was carrying and the Mark proudly displayed in his neck.
It didn't matter, though. He was perfectly happy with how his life had turned out, even when it might be considered unconventional in the eyes of other people.
As the summer continued, Naruto started fussing about their nest, deeming it not big enough all of a sudden, even though it was large enough to have the both of them lying comfortably in spite of his huge belly. Yet paradoxically it didn't feel large, even when he tried spreading out the accumulated furs even further.
Spreading the furs further out did make the nest larger, but the downside was that it took away most of the cushion that protected him from the hard floor. He wanted to sleep comfortably, so spreading out the furs was out of the question. He tried to ignore how small the nest felt like, even when he rationally knew that the nest was the same size as it had been before and he hadn't had any issues with it then.
But now he did have issues with it, did consider it too small, and it was driving him absolutely mad to the point that he woke up several times a night, plucking petulantly at the corners of some of the furs.
His annoyance must have been plain as day because after barely a week Sasuke arrived at the cave with several furs and blankets even; the mishmash of colours and the patterns stitched onto it undeniable proof that he had snuck them out of people's homes.
Upon meeting Naruto's astonished eyes, Sasuke shrugged and dropped the pile next to the nest. "You want to make the nest bigger, no? This can help you."
"How did you - "
Sasuke's teasing smirk sent blood rushing straight to his cheeks, setting them aflame. "You're getting closer to giving birth – it's natural that you want to adjust our nest."
Oh, so this was some kind of instinct then? It was good to hear that he wasn't going mad or behaving ridiculously about nothing at least.
He didn't ask the wolf for help nor did Sasuke step in. The dark haired man just stood to the side, watching Naruto fuss with the blankets, draping them in every corner and considering the angels, replacing them with others when he wasn't satisfied with the look of them.
When Naruto was finished, the nest had become double its size and one part had noticeably more furs and blankets piled together, creating a makeshift long pillow. The centre of it had become a lot softer as well, which had him sighing with satisfaction when he sank down on it.
"You're happy with how the nest feels like now?" Sasuke questioned when it became clear Naruto wouldn't start arranging again.
"Yeah, I'm happy," Naruto sighed contently. "What do you think? Do you like it?"
"As long as it feels good for you, I'm fine with it," Sasuke reassured him and joined him in the nest when Naruto made a grabbing movement.
Yes, Naruto thought as he curled up against his mate, this definitely feels a lot better.
His stomach cramping badly was what woke him up and he frowned, holding his breath automatically against the pain. When it subsided somewhat, he rose up and looked around. Even though it was still August and thus summer, there was a small fire burning away in the makeshift hearth, offering him some light.
Feeling a tad restless, he stood up and carefully stepped out of the nest, resting his hands on his stomach. His belly felt rather hard and tight somehow and he rubbed it carefully, his frown deepening as he started pacing back and forth in front of the small fire.
"Naruto?"
He turned around, watching how Sasuke sat up. He appeared fully alert, as if he had been awake for a while already.
"You okay?"
"I don't know," Naruto muttered and started pacing again. "My stomach was hurting just now, worse than before I went to sleep."
Last night he had suffered through some cramps, but they hadn't been anywhere near as bad as the cramp which had just woke him up. Maybe he shouldn't have eaten that extra piece of rabbit, but he'd been so hungry, he hadn't thought twice about accepting it when Sasuke had offered it to him.
"You've been having cramps for a while now actually. They're just growing in intensity now," Sasuke answered and that explained why he looked so wide awake. He must have been monitoring Naruto for the past couple of hours. He always seemed to know when Naruto was feeling in pain.
"Oh, why is that happening?" Should he be getting worried now? Sasuke, however, didn't look that concerned, so it couldn't be anything awful then. Otherwise the wolf shifter wouldn't sit so calmly still.
"I might be wrong, but I think you're going into labour today," Sasuke replied, watching him with sharp, intense eyes.
For a while Naruto could do nothing but stare at him as the words slowly registered. When they finally did, he looked down at his stomach in shock. "The baby's coming out today?" he squeaked startled.
Sure, Sasuke had told him a little while ago that it wouldn't be too long anymore before their baby would be born, but it really was happening now?
"Most likely," Sasuke confirmed. "Though I guess we can only be certain when your water - "
Right at that very second Naruto felt something warm and wet dripping down his legs, wetting his trousers, and when he stepped back startled, he saw a small puddle on the ground.
"-breaks," Sasuke finished blankly. "Guess our cub won't wait too much longer anymore."
"Guess not," Naruto said faintly.
For a brief moment panic rose its ugly head as he fully realised what was about to happen: he was going to give birth to their baby, their baby girl or boy, and he was going to be responsible for this little being; he was going to have to take care of it, be a good parent to it and how was he going to do that when he had never known his parents? When it had taken years for him to even experience a form of parental love? Would he even be able to handle the labour? Grandmother had always said that labour could be dangerous, that every birth could end up with complications no matter how well the pregnancy itself had been, and why had he thought he could handle this?
Warm hands cupping his cheeks tore him straight out of the spiral of panic he'd fallen in and he stared wide-eyed at Sasuke, who was regarding him with serious eyes.
"Listen to me, you're going to be fine," Sasuke told him intently. "Your body knows what to do, you just have to listen to it. I'll be with you the whole time, all right? Nothing bad will happen, I promise."
Naruto nodded and took a shuddering breath. There was still some panic swirling around in the pit of his belly, but he clung on to Sasuke's reassuring words, reminding himself that Sasuke had never lied to him before. If he said he was going to be fine, then he would be fine.
He just had to trust in Sasuke and in his body to know what it had to do.
The pain – contractions – slowly started building up over the course of the following hours. At first he only experienced a contraction every half hour, but as dawn broke, the time between each one grew shorter and shorter.
They were sometimes so bad that he could do nothing but stand still, bracing himself against the wall or Sasuke's shoulders as he breathed through the pain. The agony was worse than anything he had ever felt before, worse than the burns he had suffered when someone had pushed him too close to the bonfire five years ago. If he had to compare it to something, he would compare it to being cut with a knife over and over again with the knife being twisted around; his womb cramping violently as his body worked in getting their baby out.
The pain was so bad at times that he expected to see blood when he looked down, so certain his stomach was indeed being sliced open. All he did see, however, was his stomach rippling with the contractions and Sasuke's hand now covering his belly and then his back, rubbing him to bring some relief.
He didn't know what exactly prompted him, but after a long time of experiencing contraction after contraction, he suddenly felt it was time and he shuffled over towards their nest; still breathing heavily from the contraction which had just passed.
Sasuke was right there at his side, helping him lower himself down. At first he lied down on his back, the action almost automatic, but that position felt wrong instantly and he shook his head, sitting back up again.
"What do you need?" Sasuke asked, caressing blond locks, already damp with sweat, away from Naruto's forehead.
"I need to sit up, on my knees," Naruto answered through clenched teeth when another contraction swept over him and the urge to sit up and push was so pressing now that he used Sasuke's arms to haul himself up onto his knees.
His hands curling around Sasuke's shoulders now, he spread his legs further and he bent his head, gasping when the next contraction arrived, giving him no time to catch his bearings. Following instincts he didn't know he had, he inhaled sharply and bore down, using the contraction as a guide to push.
"God, this hurts," he groaned after he'd been pushing for god knew how long now; his hands resembling claws on Sasuke's shoulders. He was pretty sure his nails had actually dug bloody grooves in Sasuke's skin, but if so, the wolf shifter didn't mind.
"I know, but you're doing so well," Sasuke praised him, one of his hands descending on Naruto's belly, rubbing it carefully.
"How long still?" Naruto whimpered, bearing down again, feeling his baby slowly lowering down his birth channel.
He felt impossibly stretched there, his skin burning as if it was threatening to rip apart and he couldn't help but whine when the burn intensified; tears trickling down his overheated cheeks.
"Not too long anymore. Here, feel," Sasuke said suddenly and grabbed one of Naruto's hands, bringing it between his legs.
Naruto didn't know what he was supposed to feel at first, but then his fingers brushed against something distinctively hard and roundish and slimy and he gasped, realising he could feel his baby's head crowning.
"See, you're nearly there. Just a bit longer, you can do it. Only a bit longer and then we can hold our cub in our hands. You're being so strong now," Sasuke cooed, kissing his temple sweetly and rubbing his stomach soothingly. "Only a bit longer, you can do it, I know."
His baby's head slipping out had him gasping for air and birthing the rest of the tiny body had him groaning, silent tears dripping down, as he tried to bear down again and again, fighting against his exhausted body so he could bring his baby full into the world.
Then, suddenly, the rest of his baby slipped out of him, Sasuke quickly leaning forwards to grab the cub, and Naruto couldn't help but start crying heavier now, too overcome with the sudden empty sensation within him and the knowledge that his baby was finally born; his child's sharp cry joining his soon.
His sight had become so blurry he had trouble at first properly seeing his baby when Sasuke held their cub out to him; the umbilical cord neatly clipped in to by Sasuke's claws.
"Is our baby okay?" Naruto asked worriedly, automatically reaching out to accept the small being.
The first thing he noticed when his eyes finally focused enough was the tuft of black hair covering his baby's scalp and his deep blue eyes when the babe calmed down enough to open them.
"He's perfectly okay. Has all his fingers and toes," Sasuke chuckled and there was pride shining visibly through his eyes when he gazed down upon their son.
Their son.
They had a little baby boy. Oh god.
"He's perfect," Naruto said thickly and with Sasuke's help, he inclined against a clean part of the nest, Sasuke making quick work of removing the ones filthy with all sorts of fluid.
Clutching his baby – his baby boy, oh god – against his chest, he silently marvelled at how beautiful he looked. For months he had tried to imagine how their baby would look like, but the reality was definitely beyond his wildest dreams. Who could ever have thought he and Sasuke would make something so amazing?
"How are you feeling?" Sasuke asked quietly when he entered their den again, coming to sit next to Naruto in the next. His face was soft when he reached out to carefully stroke their son's cheek.
The baby turned his head weakly towards him in response, smacking his lips.
"Tired and sore," Naruto admitted, thinking he wouldn't be able to move for hours after this. "But happy," he added with a smile, ignoring some of the tears still escaping him. "So happy, look at how perfect he is!"
"He is," Sasuke agreed and then kissed him tenderly. "And you are too. You've done it, love. You brought our cub into the world. You're so amazing."
Euphoria still coursing through his veins, for once, Naruto had no problems believing the complements Sasuke was bestowing upon him.
Yeah, he really had done an amazing job just now.
Hikaru was a happy baby and a big eater, Naruto was quick to find out. The Mark Sasuke had given him so many months ago had not only given him the ability to birth children, but had also turned him capable of feeding them, which while incredibly shocking at first, was also very reassuring, because he had been worrying how he would have to go about feeding their baby with no cows nearby to get milk from.
It had been rather strange at first, feeding their son in a natural way, seeing those pouty pink lips wrapped around one of his nipples. That strangeness had quickly made way for a sense of peace and now he enjoyed this special moment between them; a moment where everything in his world narrowed down to the little cub suckling on his chest, drinking milk.
Sasuke appeared to find peace in those moments as well, because he would often curl up around Naruto in his wolf form, letting his mate rest against his flank while their cub drank until he was full.
"Do you think Hikaru can shift into a wolf as well?" Naruto asked curiously, three weeks after Hikaru had been born.
It was something that had been on his mind for a little while now, resurfacing every time Hikaru woke them up with his sharp cries throughout the night. While Naruto might not be completely human anymore, neither was he a born wolf, not like Sasuke was, so what did that make of their son? Would he be a wolf regardless or would he be human like Naruto was?
"That's something we'll only find out once he's six months old," Sasuke replied, glancing at him briefly. Hikaru was on a bundle of fur in front of him, making grabby motions at his father's fingers. "A first transformation manifests itself around the six month mark."
"Oh, but how big is the chance of him being a wolf?"
"Hm, I'd say around sixty percent, maybe?" Sasuke shrugged, smiling when Hikaru's fist closed around his index finger. "My clan goes back centuries so the wolf gene is quite strong."
Worrying his lip between his teeth, Naruto asked tentatively, "Would you mind it if he turns out to not be a wolf?"
Sasuke clucked his tongue and flicked his nose before wrapping a hand around his neck and reeling him in for a kiss. "Don't be silly, of course I wouldn't mind. He's still our cub, wolf or not."
It was rather silly to worry about that, Naruto conceded, when Sasuke had been more than clear in the past that it wouldn't matter whether Naruto accepted the second Bite or not.
Still, the last bit of anxiety which had still lingered, had now completely evaporated.
Hikaru was just a month old when Naruto woke up one morning, confused by the unexpected bright glow in the cave. Sure, they had entered September, but wasn't it still a bit too early for Sasuke to make the fire that large?
When he opened his eyes, however, he saw the Fae Queen standing in the middle of their den, gazing at them quietly.
"Sasuke," Naruto whispered urgently, shaking Sasuke's shoulder.
The wolf shifter instantly awoke, all traces of sleepiness in his eyes swept away by alertness when his gaze landed on Konan.
"I didn't expect to see you here," he remarked and sat up, curling one arm around Naruto's waist.
Hikaru was asleep between the two of them, still completely tuckered out from the feeding he had done less than two hours ago.
"I did not mean to disturb you in your home," Konan spoke and folded her hands together in front of her. She wore a silver gown this time, which shimmered every time she moved.
"Is something the matter?" Naruto asked nervously, thinking it couldn't be a good thing if the Fae Queen herself was visiting their den.
After that one time he hadn't seen her again and he had assumed that would remain so, as she hadn't appeared interested in getting to know them better; not like Gaara had, at least.
"Not in the sense that something is wrong," she said.
"Then why the visit?" Sasuke quirked an eyebrow.
"To ask when you will be seeking to leave this place."
AN2: Normally the next chapter will be the last (though I will be giving more information about the epilogue). I hope you liked it despite the shorter length!
Please leave your thoughts behind in a review; should you spot any mistakes, please point them out to me.
I hope to see you all back in the last chapter! Please stay safe and take care of yourselves!
